NAMPA, Idaho (KBOI) — A Nampa school bus driver has been cited for misdemeanor inattentive driving after she rear-ended a car near an elementary school last week.

Nampa Sgt. Tim Riha said Christina Sturgis, 68, was eastbound in a school bus at about 7 a.m. Thursday on Lake Lowell Avenue near Centennial Elementary School when she hit a Honda sedan that had stopped to allow pedestrians to cross at a designated crosswalk.

He said Sturgis told police that she saw the Honda slow down, but that she had turned around for a brief moment before she rear-ended the car.

Riha said that none of the young passengers on the bus were injured and that Sturgis and the Honda driver weren’t treated for injuries.

A spokesman for Brown Bus Company, Inc., which contracts with the Nampa School District, declined to comment on Sturgis’ employment status. He said the matter would be handled internally.
